Requires a Lot of Coffee...

A Lifer at The Spectrum,
He said,
I'd have newsprint on my hands,
A bottle of scotch in the drawer.

Lucky for me, I don't flounder.
I read the cross-country papers online each day,
And there's a bottle of rum on the counter.

Best of the Midwest and NDHSSTA,
Gifts must not mellow.
I fill twenty-four hours a day,
With every ounce of my Yellow.
